Oil spikes on fresh U.S. strikes in Iran — ride the energy rally

Oil prices suddenly shot higher after news of new U.S. military strikes in Iran. This sparked fears that a key global shipping route for oil could be disrupted.

Idea

When military conflicts threaten a major chokepoint for global oil like the Strait of Hormuz, energy prices typically spike as markets brace for supply shortages. This sudden escalation completely reverses the recent optimism about a peace deal, putting a 'risk premium' back into the price of oil. Since energy companies directly benefit from higher oil prices, their stocks usually follow crude upward. Jumping into a broad energy fund or major oil producer now allows you to profit from this sudden geopolitical tension.
